Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, eggs, and vanilla, beating until well incorporated.
- Add melted chocolate mixture to the bowl and mix thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra fudginess, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
